Work to India..

Last week, my sup called a meeting together with my 2 co-agents and one of our topic was the trip to India. Our sup discussed to us that our company will be sending agents to India to help train the people with the work that we do. At first its good to hear that youll be going there for free and you'll be seeing the famous Taj Mahal but the downside of the offer was youll be staying there for 3 months...

When our sup asked the three of us if we want to volunteer going to India, no one answered. Hhhhhmmmmm.......

When i was at home, i talked to hubby about this and our conversation is like this:

Me: Bi, ok lang ba sayo na pupunta ako ng India for 3 months. Magpapadala ng tao ang company para tumulong mag-train nung work nmen. Marami nman ang ipapadala.

Hubby: Ha? Naku di mo kakayanin dun kasi masyadong maanghang ang pagkain dun.. iba kasi ang spices dun, d2 nga lang konting anghang lang nagrereklamo ka na... yung counterpart nga nmen ayaw dun..

Me: So ayaw mo?

Hubby: Hindi nman sa ayaw pero ikaw bahala, wag ka lang manlalaki.

Me: Grabe ka nman! of all the places bakit nman dun pa ko manlalake... at kung manlalake ako eh di sana nun pa.. Ano nga? kasi need ng consent mo kasi ikaw ang immediate family ko..

Hubby: Wag na bi! Ang tagal eh ska hindi maganda dun.


That was our conversation last weekend. If i were to ask, i'd rather stay here with my family. I will not sacrifice the time and bonding of our family just for the sake of going to India for free. Like with other conversation, with the topic of resigning to work and be a stay at home mom to my daughter and a plain housewife to hubby. I always told hubby that im still enjoying my work because of friends and i want to save a lot but if time comes that im not happy, then ill decide. With his salary come December, we can live on a single-income family but i chose to continue working to save a lot.

With the free travel to India because of work but will stay for 3 months, i chose to stay here. I've been to diff. places and different countries when i was young but it never cross my mind to travel to India, maybe because i was scared to go there or bka natatakot ako sa mga napapanood ko sa discovery and travel and living channel sa tv.

If you were me? will you go to India or stay with your family?

Villa Del Prado Resort in Quezon

Sorry that im not updating my blog for weeks now. As i have mentioned with my previous post, we moved in to our new home and i was so busy since then. Our internet was transferred 3 days ago only and i dont have time to go online because i always came home late from work. I have so many things to blog but since i was busy now until christmas maybe, i will just update you of what happens now because i may not blog again in the next few weeks...

Last october 16 to be exact was our first day here in our new home. We clean the house before we transferred our things, we only have our bed, lcd and home theater system with us. We bought a lot since day 1, from kitchen tools up to bedroom things. Our home was an up and down type and has 2 big bedrooms, hubby and i occupy the bigger room and tami has her own room now. Her yaya sleeps in her room because she cant sleep alone in her big room. This transfer-to-our-new-home damaged our pocket in a major major way, from the 4 months deposit to the house and for all the things we bought for the house. As for now, things in our house is now complete. Pictures soon.

If you will say, "Kamusta naman ang nakabukod?".... I could say "Were fine and enjoy"... Living alone with hubby, my daughter and 1 maid is new to us. Before, we only give 6,000 pesos a month to my parents-in-law as our share for house expenses like food and electricity but now we shoulder all the expenses, from the bills (meralco, water, telephone and internet) up to food. It was just added to our monthly expenses before. Now look at the things we need to pay: monthly rental for the house, Meralco, water, telephone and internet, monthly postpaid bill, cable, insurance, tami's school tuition, maid's salary, food......  Aaaarrggggghhhh.... i need to learn how to budget :)

Our wedding anniversary (oct 23) and hubby's birthday (oct 24) and i planned of ordering food and invite relatives for dinner or lunch but my in-laws wants to go swimming so we went to Quezon together with hubbys cousins. We went to Del Prado Pool and Beach Resort..




It was my first time to try resorts in Quezon and i was amazed of this resort. Perfect for team building and other celebrations. Check their website at http://www.villadelpradoresort.com/

Proof that my daughter enjoyed her papa's birthday. Hindi kinaya ng sunblock ang init.

Even my hubby enjoyed his birthday. My birthday gift to him was a cellphone (Nokia X6). I gave it to him the week after his birthday. His gift to me on our wedding anniversary was a Kate Spade wallet. I so love it! Pictures soon.. ill get the card reader first in my inlaws house...

This november there were a lot of celebrations to attend to. Three dedication or baptismal and hubby will be the godfather to those three babies (one for my cousin and 2 for his friends). Buti n lang at hindi ako because i have a lot already, 17 inaanaks already :)

Today (saturday), Hubby is in Pansol, Laguna for the team building of all the team leaders, supervisors and OMs prepared for them by their company's management.

On November 23-25 is our scheduled vacation in Palawan but were still not sure if we were going with my cousins. Hubby decided not to go. Me? still thinking twice whether or not to go. sayang kasi...

December. The most busy month for all of us. Attending lots of parties. As of now i have 3 scheduled company events. Dec 12 for the company's Year-end party at SMX convention center in MOA, Our pod  (department) xmas party and our team's xmas party.

Me and one of my teammates was assigned to host and organize our team's xmas party on Dec. 17-18, 2010. We booked the Team suite at Legend Villas in mandaluyong for our venue. Were still organizing the games, prizes and giveaways for the said party.

Christmas is approaching so fast and it makes me busy now until the next few weeks. Dont forget to drop-by here in my blog because if i have time, ill make sure to post some updates.. Goodbye for now because its past 1am and im sleepy na... Goodnight :)
